Had the opportunity for UCF to play UF for the state of Florida and for Michigan to play LSU, two storied programs that have never played before
Instead we're going to play Florida for the 3rd time in 4 years

You're right LSU/UM sounds much better.

Once again the bullshit espn ran committee fucked the big ten and rewards the over ranked sec. strange that the sec has a big contract with them. First off Nd should not have got in they did not play a championship game and comparing schedules ok and osu were better. Two who did Clemson play. One ranked team ranked 20 that’s it they should not have got In. Three who did bama and Georgia play anyone other than each other. No best thing for the big ten to do is not play In a single bowl game fuck em. All football fans got fucked. Now we get to watch three fucking blow outs yay!
-
Generally the independents just don't matter except a year like 2018, Army might not get a bowl game and ND doesn't have to risk losing in a conference championship game.
I guess you can't force them to join, same with the lax SEC scheduling.
Answer: an 8 or 16 team playoff like every other level of football and no major deservinv team gets left out...four just does not cut it..
-
6 team playoff

How many times are the BCS going to exclude the Big 10 champs?
As many times as they take 29 pt beat downs by unranked teams
-
6 team playoff
6 does not work well. the BEST two get byes, make it an even 8, four go home in round one. Can be worked into the bowl cities if desired and 6 or 8 take roughly the same number of weeks.
ALA, CLEM do not need extra rest.

Top teams deserve it. Regular season needs to mean something

Top teams deserve it. Regular season needs to mean something
NO they do not. They do NOT do it in any other division in football at any level down to high school. They don't even do it in baseball or basketball.
Do it right, 8 to start.....or should we say catch up with the world, there is growing support for it.

Who makes these decisions on bowl matchups is it the bowls or do the schools have a lot of say

I don't think the schools get a say. The bowls want the most lucrative matchups.
That's why you'll see big name teams getting placed higher than they should to get the top matchup. Happened a lot with Michigan during RRod and Hoke.

D-1AA, D-II, D-III, NAIA, high school, peewee, somewhat MLB, NBA basically most all sports everywhere uses logical playoffs.
It took D-1A forever to move away from the stone age mythical championships, 4 teams was poor they should have done 8 teams before.

Most all of this is now predetermined and the schools, fans, media whomever do not get any choice in the matter. Too bad some good matchups will never happen.
......The teams that participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I Football Bowl Subdivision earn the right to compete in a series of post-season games called bowl games. As of 2017, there are 40 bowl games (not counting the College Football Playoff National Championship), and all are contractually obligated to offer bids to specific conferences, a situation known as a "tie-in". The "top" six bowl games ("New Year's Six") in the nation select their teams as part of the College Football Playoff (CFP), which was put into place for a minimum of 12 years, beginning with the 2014 season. Prior to 2014, the top five games in the country were chosen under the system known as the Bowl Championship Series. The bowls outside of the CFP, have individual contracts with the conferences to offer preferential bids to teams from those conferences. As long as teams are bowl eligible, they may be selected by these bowls to meet these contracts.......

From SB Nation..... https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/12/3/18124631/heisman-trophy-finalists-2018
Heisman drama? Finally.
ESPN announced three finalists for the Heisman Trophy on Monday: Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray, and Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins.
There’s no set number of finalists that get to go to New York every year. The number is always at least three, but whether it’s more than that depends on how close the voting was, and this is the crew voters have settled on.
Finalist snubs include Washington State QB Gardner Minshew, West Virginia QB Will Grier, Memphis running back Darrell Henderson, and every defender or lineman in the country.
Either Murray or Tagovailoa will be your winner, though.
From the early weeks of the season until recently, Tagovailoa was widely considered the runaway winner.
He started putting up absurd numbers right away for the best team in the country. Every single Bama game until November featured between two and four passing TDs by Tagovailoa, him averaging at least 10.6 yards per throw with no interceptions, and Nick Saban taking him out in the second half in granting mercy to the other team.
Those early hooks meant Tagovailoa was getting way fewer touches per game than previous Heisman-winning QBs, but his performances were so bonkers that he stacked up well against them anyway. Tagovailoa put up better numbers in his first six games than any of those Heisman QBs ever put up in their best six games if someone cherry-picked them.........CONTINUED IN LINK.....
